Using the Tags Panel

Note: As of 07/08/2024, SketchUp will no longer offer or support SketchUp Viewer for HoloLens as part of any SketchUp subscription plan. To continue viewing your SketchUp models in VR, use the SketchUp Viewer for Quest, our free viewer for use on the Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro devices, or the Trimble Connect Visualizer, a workflow extension available through Extension Warehouse. For more information, see SketchUp and the Trimble Connect Visualizer.

If a model contains Tags that were created in SketchUp, those tags will be available in the Tags panel. (For an introduction to layers in SketchUp, see Controlling Visibility with Tags in the SketchUp area of the Help Center.)

To access the Tags panel and view the Tags in your model:

  1. Raise either your right hand or left hand with your palm facing the HoloLens. The SketchUp Viewer app Summon menu will appear, as seen in Fig. 1 below. Tap the Tools button () to open the Tools screen.
